A mixture of nuts offers better nutritional benefit and that is why I’ve combined three different nuts in this popular party piece and served them with nutty crackers. Excellent served with 180 Degrees Hazelnut Oat Crackers.

Ingredients

½ cup	Walnuts
3 cups	Tasty cheese, grated
½ cup	Butter, softened
2 cloves	Garlic, crushed
1 tsp	Dijon mustard
1 tsp	Rosemary, finely chopped
½ tsp	Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp	Sherry

Ingredients

¼ cup	Almonds, chopped, with skins
¼ cup	Pistachio nuts, coarsley chopped

Directions

Toast the walnuts lightly either in the microwave for about 4 minutes or in a 180C oven for 8-10 minutes. Cool, then finely chop.
In a food processor, combine the cheese, butter, garlic, mustard, rosemary, Worcestershire and sherry. Mix until smooth. Stir in the walnuts.
Roll into a ball. Place the almonds and pistachios on a plate and roll the ball in nuts to coat. Press in lightly. Wrap in plastic film and chill.
